Keeping It Frugal

My thoughts about life and money.

About Me

Laura

Through mis-management of my money in my early twenties I learned a lot of life lessons - both financial and personal. After 12+ years of teaching, and 3 years of working as a school-librarian, I moved to Nebraska and found a job outside of school/library with good benefits and okay pay. The move was mainly to pursue the possibility of a long-term relationship ...

"Barbeque" etc

Last night I made "Barbeque" for dinner using soy curls. My DH, mostly a carnivore, gave it a thumbs up. We also had beans and Brussels sprouts - all made in the InstantPot.

----
DH's car is having break issues, so I came home from work and walked outside instead of going to the gym so he could use my car. My phone didn't die until I got home and took it out of my pocket to end my walk. It was cold, but I got home before it was dark.

He has an appointment on Wednesday. That cheap car isn't so cheap - plus its annoying having to change my plans so often. Ugh!

I made whole wheat spaghetti tonight for dinner so I could use up the sauce. There's enough for dinner tomorrow, unless DH eats it not realizing its whole wheat.

It was so nice today not having to take pictures of my food for Pact. I may continue the workout and myfitnesspal pacts, but I think I'm done with the veggie pact. (Although that's the one that makes the most money ....)

*soak beans overnight
*cut up an onion and mince some garlic - sautee in IP in a smidge of olive oil and veggie broth
*Add the rest of the veggie broth to IP
*Add a healthy dose of turmeric, paprika, oregano, etc *tiny bit of salt
*drain and rinse beans
*add beans to IP
*Put the lid on and make sure it's not venting
*put IP on manual for 25 minutes and go take a nap.
I just kind of made up this recipe - is Great Northern Beans. DH eats seconds - which means he actually likes them.
